A review by eesh25
French Fancy by Lily Morton
4.0
This was a good read. Recently, I;ve preferred Morton books where the humour is toned down, which is the case here. It makes it easier for me to connect with her characters, especially since her humour doesn't always work for me.
I know a fair amount about Pip because of the Model Clinic stuff in Morton's newsletter. And he was in the last book. That said, it was really in this book that we got to know him beyond the snark and horny comments. I really liked him. He's such a caring person and so genuine. Beyond a shocking bout of obliviousness in the final third, he was my favourite character. I liked Olivier too, just not as much. I liked that we saw Mal and Jonas, and the new version of Dean who barely resembles his original self (it only bothers me a little).
The story was cute and I enjoyed it a lot. The book is longer-than-average for Morton, but it didn't feel long. And I would definitely recommend checking it out.
